The Basics
Where are You?
Warp : Wake takes place in Maior… or at least what’s left of it.
The great continent was reduced to a peninsula after a great calamity centuries ago. But in the time since, life has slowly crept back.
Their are four main locales that make up Maior. The City, The Wasteland, The Forest, and The Ocean. Each of these locales has a deck of cards associated with them. The decks are referred to as “Location Decks”.
Each card functions as a window into the remains of Maior, and learning the way of this land will be crucial to striving in it.
Who are You?
You play as one of several different characters, with their own personalized deck of experiences.
This deck of cards will be referred to as your “Personal Deck“. Just like the other cards, each will functions as a window, but these cards will specifically show the life of your character. Cards can depict other people who’ve had an impact on your character’s life, tools that have helped them in their journey, events they’ve participated in, spells they’ve learned to cast, and the actions they’ve taken.
You win the game by collecting enough reputation. Depending on how long you want to play, you can decide where the goal post is. Each character earns reputation differently from one another. For example, you gain reputation whenever you find a treasure while playing as The Pirate.
Each character will also have their own set of “Cause Cards”, which represent the impact characters have on their environments. These cards will be shuffled into Location Decks, but only if that character is currently being played.
The Board
The board is a simplified version of the map of Maior. Grey spaces represent the city, green represent the forests, orange represent the waste, and blue represent the ocean.
As you play the game, it may benefit you to move around the board. Certain resources can only be found particular locations So if there’s a card that you want play but don’t have the resource for it, get up and move your butt!
